Teaching:

You are right concerning the good news regarding crypto. The hard part is teaching people how to use Duck Duck Go, Steemit, Ubuntu, Bitcoin, Bit Torrent, Proxies, etc, etc.

Private & Public

The good news is a person can have private accounts and public accounts on the Internet as opposed to only one required account that is connected by force to your one identity online and offline in all areas of your life.

Separation of Powers

So, in other words, you can have multiple identities, accounts, and you can find ways to keep the different accounts separate from each other if you want and you can keep some of the accounts as backups and some of them totally private.

Separation of Privacy

So, to some extent, governments, tech cartels, etc, always try to know who is doing what like you said.

Connecting Dots

They will always try to spy and see what is happening online and offline. So, sometimes, they may see your accounts, but if you are lucky, they may not know that some of what they saw was you.

Unable to Follow

They may see your public accounts. But then, maybe you could have some private accounts online that does things that they see but may sometimes struggle to connect to you. So blockchains, cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc, and especially Monero may help people with privacy, etc.
